Showcasing The Best Of British Jewellery Designers

Designer Interview - Andrew O'Dell

Andrew O'Dell

What inspired you to become a jewellery designer?

It was a natural progression really,I started making jewellery at 16 and got a great sense of satisfaction from making things. I went on to developed ideas/designs of my own, which I wanted to try making myself.

What is your favourite piece of jewellery? (either made or purchased)

I made a brooch designed by Stuart Devlin for his wife Carole, it was in the form of a peacocks feather set with diamonds, aquamarines and sapphires

Which celebrity would you love to wear your jewellery and why?

Difficult one, I guess as many as possible but maybe Sienna Miller, Kristin Scott Thomas and Carol Klein. Beauty, elegance and an appreciation of flowers.

Out-with jewellery is there any other career that you would love to try?

I would have loved to have been a professional badminton player.

What can we expect to see from you in the future?

More of the same but I want to develop the ideas further rather than copying the forms as they are in nature.
